About this activity

A jaw-dropping treasure trove of art and culture, the charms of Venice could easily occupy you for a lifetime. But if you’re new to the Floating City and want to get straight to the highlights, then our Essential Venice tour offers the perfect introduction to the city known to history as the Serenissima. On our itinerary we’ll be visiting the two greatest landmarks in Venice, with skip-the-lines access: iconic Saint Mark’s basilica, with its glittering mosaics, and the no less spectacular Doge’s Palace - symbol of Venice’s limitless power for nearly a millennium and home to the breathtaking Bridge of Sighs. Afterwards head off in search of hidden corners of Venice that few visitors get to see in the company of our local expert. This is Venice at its authentic, spectacular best!
